You mean the 14th amendment, don't you Joe?
All you neo-rebs hate equal rights.
That's the basis for your whole hateful rant.
I said this the other day, and I think it an interpretation amply supported in the record.
The framers soft-pedaled the permanence and power of the Union. They euphemized it. That is why we are having this "discussion" now. Had they added language that said: "The states are absolutely subbservient" to the national union (although I refer you to the supremacy clause), that would have freaked people out. But we know that --enough people did adopt this view-- to preserve the Union. That view permeated the views of enough people so that when push came to shove, the slave power's revolution was thrown down.
Don't ya just hate it?
